      -2- Waterton 🚍👩‍👧‍👦

      September 1, 2022 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

      Donderdag 1 september - zaterdag 3 september

      Camping: Crooked Creek Campground

      2 nachtjes bij Waterton park gekampeerd! Wat een mooi nationaal park is dit zeg. Het is het eerste peace park tussen Canada en de USA. Dit betekend dat de conservatie van het park samen wordt gedaan. Prachtige kampeerplek met uitzicht op de bergen. En hier was geen kampvuurban, dus een fikkie gestoken. Ruben en ik misten wel onze firemaster Aaron. Maar we hebben ons best gedaan. In de ochtend hebben Ruben en ik een korte hike gedaan: Bear’s hump. 2.4 km heen en terug maar wel redelijk stijl omhoog tot het uitzichtpunt. Prachtig!! Daarna een boottocht gemaakt over het meer, Upper Waterton lake. Met de boot zijn we dan zelfs de USA in gevaren! Toen nog naar Cameron lake gereden en hier gezwommen (Ruben en ik) en een middagtukkie gedaan in de zon. Terug naar het stadje een tussenstop bij de Cameron waterval, hier stonden ook lekker hertjes te grazen. En in de avond in het stadje gegeten. Lekkere spareribs uit een smoker!! Klein ijsje achteraf met uitzicht op het water en de dag eindigen bij een warm kampvuurtje.Read more

      Akamina Ridge

      September 13, 2022 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      Tue 13th Sept. Second of the triple crown hikes today. Firstly we drove to Cameron Lake and picked up the bikes that we left there yesterday. Today's hike started about 1 km back up the road from Cameron Lake. About 2 kms in you come to a "Welcome to British Columbia" sign as the hike is in their territory. And shortly after that you branch of to the left to take the track to Forum Lake. After the lake the track starts zig zagging up, going past some good bushes of Huckleberries. The track then came up to a Pass, where you could see over to Wall Lake. From there it was scrambling/rockclimbing up to the top of the Ridge between the two lakes. The temperature was definitely lower up there, with a cold wind blowing, so it was time for another layer or two. The track then continues along up and down the Ridge for about 5 kms. The views would had been superb especially looking towards Glacier National Park in USA but the haze again made the mountains very indistinct. Coming down the ridge, we missed a turning which was marked by a small cairn, and carried on straight - on a still distinguish path, but about 300m on it didn't feel right, but there was still a track going down so we hesitantly continued, after about another 300 m the track stopped (I think we were illegal immigrants in America now), and decided to backtracked, and eventually found the right track going down by the cairn. On our little side excursion to America we did see fresh sign of bear activity but didn't sight any. So once on the right track, it was downwards to Wall Lake, and then a fairly flattish walk out to the intersection with Forum Lake track, and then back down to the van. Hike stats: 20 km, 5 hr 14, elevation gain 1181 m, highest altitude 2569 m. Steps D 31005 / V 33514.Read more

      Waterton National Park

      September 11, 2022 in Canada ⋅ 🌙 17 °C

      Sun 11 Sept. Two words for Waterton National Park - windy and in love - I suppose that's three. But what a beautiful place, I think because it's a lot smaller and less touristy than Banff or Jasper, we both felt so relaxed and in holiday mode here. But is it ever windy, and apparently it's like that most of the time because the wind funnels between the mountains and down the 11 km long lake. So we drove from our overnight spot, which also was very windy through more grasslands (or prairies) terrain which was now dotted with large windmill generators, until the prairies meets the mountains at the start of the park. We then followed a sign to the bison paddock and drove around that stopping to observe the small herd of bison. It's sad that at the entry they had to have a sign saying firearms prohibited - to think people would come to shoot these mighty animals for their own glory, especially when they are trying to bring them back from earlier desecration back in the late 1800s, when they roamed the lands in great numbers. Got to Waterton village and got the hiking information from the visitor centre (which I got a bit annoyed with after, as I asked for hike recommendations of up to 8 hrs longs, he pointed out some 2 to 3 hr hikes, and none of the longer harder ones - what did he think we were too old!!!). Got a spot in the town campground and then went for an explore of the area and village. Found a few of the shops had notices on there windows about the Waterton Triple Crown of Hikes to do, was definitely planning on doing one of them, now got the challenge of doing all three, starting with the first one tomorrow - yay looking forward to getting out there again after a few days off.

      Waterton weaves its wonders

      May 12, 2018 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

      As the sun began to caress the edges of a perfect day and design a delectable sunset I soak up the ambience of Waterton NP. Set in the very SW corner of Alberta, next to Montana, USA, this gem of a lake is surrounded by snow-topped Rocky Mountains. They are different to the Jasper-Banff version, it’s drier here, but no less powerful and picturesque.

      The drive into Waterton from Highway 2 is just wonderful, with the rolling green prairies suddenly overtaken by the upright mountains. On one side the mountains are lacking fir trees from the devastating fires, exposing the rocks and snow. The lake sets a glorious foundation and visual feast for this setting, the quietness filling your soul with peace.

      We’ve entered the National Park, but unlike Australian equivalents, a small village for visitors. I’ve heard the languages of Thai, Spanish, British, French... and of course a multitude of Aussies calling Canada their second home.

      Sheree and I walked along the lake’s edge, enjoyed the Cameron waterfall, wandered through the village, had dinner and finaly a delightful & peaceful sunset. We have less than seven days to enjoy this heaven, so we absorb every moment.

      It’s good to be in the mountains on such a delightful day... feeling blessed!      Read more

      Waterton lakes Nationalpark

      March 30, 2018 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ -2 °C

      Die letzte Station unseres Roadtrips ist Waterton im gleichnamigen Nationalpark an der Grenze zu den USA. Und offenbar wenigstens Zweitwohnsitz des Winters, denn es erwarten uns komplett verbarrikadierte Häuser und Geschäfte, die kaum auszumachen sind unter den Schneemassen. Einige Häuser sind durch 1,5m hohe Schneewälle von der Straße getrennt, in die die Bewohner Stufen geschaufelt haben um überhaupt rein zu kommen. Im Winter ist das Dorf halb verlassen, die Bewohner ziehen in wärmere und schneeärmere Gebiete, was dem Ort einen verwunschen, mysteriösen Geisterstadt Charakter verleiht, der bei diesem Wetter wirklich magisch ist. zu unserem Glück braut sich auch noch ein Schneesturm zusammen, der uns in ein paar Stunden einen halben Meter Neuschnee bringt und die Stimmung komplett macht. In dieser Abgeschiedenheit lassen sich sogar noch ein paar Wölfe blicken, die auf dem zugefrorenen See Enten jagen.Read more
